About this book
In a vibrant farmyard, where the sun’s rise is believed to hinge on the crow of Chantecler, Edmond Rostand crafts a whimsical narrative that intertwines allegory with comedy. This play, "Chantecler: Play in Four Acts," explores themes of pride and self-importance as the titular rooster grapples with his perceived role as the harbinger of dawn. With a cast of eccentric characters, Rostand delves into the nature of belief and the quest for identity. Ideal for students and civic activists, this work invites readers to reflect on the interplay between perception and reality. Experience the charm and depth of Rostand’s storytelling, where every crow echoes the complexities of existence and the search for purpose.
